Orchestra instruments are commonly tuned to match an A-note played by the principal oboe. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra tunes

to an A-note at 440 Hz while the Boston Symphony Orchestra tunes to 442 Hz. If the speed of sound is constant at 343 m/s, find the magnitude of difference between the wavelengths of these two different A-notes. (Enter your answer in m.)

Answer:

Δλ = 3*10⁻³ m.

Explanation:

  • At any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the speed of  the wave, the wavelength, and the frequency, as follows:

       v = \lambda* f  (1)

       where v is the speed, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.

  • Rearranging terms, we can get λ from the other two parameters, as follows:

       \lambda = \frac{v}{f}  (2)

  • Since v is constant for sound at 343 m/s, we can find the different wavelengths at different frequencies, as follows:

        \lambda_{1} =\frac{v}{f_{1}} = \frac{343m/s}{440(1/s)} = 0.779 m  (3)

        \lambda_{2} =\frac{v}{f_{2}} = \frac{343m/s}{442(1/s)} = 0.776 m  (4)

  • The difference between both wavelengths, is just the difference between (3) and (4):

       \Delta \lambda = \lambda_{1} - \lambda_{2} = 0.779 m - 0.776m = 3e-3 m (5)

       ⇒ Δλ = 3*10⁻³ m.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

I'm just going to tell you the information you need but not the answer so you can learn from the problem.

Explanation:

So he was at 248 km mark and traveled 99 km to get to the 149km mark. Then he turns around to go back 18 km to the 167 km mark. That is all the information you need to complete the question I recommend drawing it out in your notes.

Design a solution that can monitor and minimize the melting of sea ice caused by human activity
dedylja [7]

Answer:

CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning should be minimized at all cost. The CO2 are gotten when the carbons from hydrocarbons react with air(oxygen). This gas erodes the ozone layer which makes the melting of ice caps faster due to increased amount of heat radiations on the earth. This is the only best and permanent solution to the reduction of the amount of heat rays on the earth which is a global problem.

Objects which reflects back the sunrays could also be inserted into the sea to prevent the melting of the ice caps.

A thin walled spherical shell is rolling on a surface. What
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of given shell= \frac{2}{3} MR^2

where

M represent sphere mass

R -sphere radius

we know linear speed is given as v = r\omega

translational K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2

rotational K.E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2

total kinetic energy will be

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2

K.E =\frac{5}{6} MR^2 \omega^2

fraction of rotaional to total K.E

=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4
